5 Best Things to Eat and Drink This Weekend in Metro Phoenix

We're pretty excited that well-known Valley chef Matt Taylor has relocated to the kitchen at Gertrude's at the Desert Botanical Garden. And if you're looking for a good excuse to go check out what the chef has up his sleeve, then this Saturday's event might be just that reason. The restaurant's craft beer dinner will feature three courses and an amuse bouche paired with beers from Huss Brewing Company in Tempe. The menu includes a Kushi oyster with Spanish chorizo mignonette, bowfin caviar, and rye crumble and curried goat with dirty rice, pickled watermelon, and fresno chili vinegar. The dinner starts at 6:30 p.m. and costs $45 a person. Call 480-719-8600 for a reservation.
